Antique Vienna 3-Weight Regulator


Pendulum is attached to the case


Two sets of coil gong for striking of the quarters and hours 
The key to wind up the weights
This is a 3-weight Vienna regulator made ca.1880. It's called a blind man's clock because of the way it strikes, the "Granne Sonnerie" strike. It'll strike the quarter tone first on a gong and then the hour tone on another gong of different pitch.
